Light over Casper, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My children and I were headed to take my husband medicine at work at the hospital when we saw a bright light in the sky near a start. Much brighter than a star. At first we thought it was an airplane but couldn't see the normal red or blue lights we are use to seeing on the wings. We watched it move in a northern direction from where we were on south McKinley all the way to the hospital on east 2nd street. My husband met us outside to get his meds and we pointed it out to him and asked if he thought it was a plane but he too was uncertain. The kids and I decided to investigate and drive out to Natrona County Airport to see if we could see it coming in to land but the light never came anywhere near the airport. While on our way there were also saw another light between the star, where we originally saw the other light, and the light we'd been following. We watched the second light move rapidly north and disappear in the blink of an eye. On our way back to to! wn from the airport heading east, we spotted yet a third light, much lower than the first two, over the downtown vicinity. It darted in a southerly direction very quickly (and had a trail behind it) and then disappeared. It was really low. Not much higher than the buildings. None of these lights were planes, stars, or shooting stars. They all looked the same. Fascinating.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

For about the first 30 minutes of them following us we both thought that they were drones. But as they kept following us we both changed our minds. They followed us for hours and for over 80 miles. I don't believe drones go that distance or as high as some of them went.

Along the North Platte River, off of Trappers Route,on a clear night, a very bright glowing lime-green orb appeared in the sky, moving quickly above the river a short distance from where we were. It was followed by 2 smaller bright white lights. The orb briefly stopped, hovered over the river, causing a "glow" reflection off of the water. After we both were able to focus on the green orb and lights, it quickly sped out of sight. We did not hear any sound coming from it and it was approximately 100 yards away, at the most. We were surrounded by sagebrush and river's edge. There were no trees or nearby light sources. No roads or vehicle access near or where the orb appeared.

I was on my back deck looking up at the stars as I often do. I noticed a cluster of three stars, 1 brighter than the other two. It was a cluster of stars I had not seen before. I looked away to see where the big dipper was in corrolation to this cluster. When I looked back at what I believed to be a three star cluster they were no longer there. I continued to search the sky for the next 10 or so minutes but did not see them again.
